Both companies make very good drain valves so it is a toss up in my opinion. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x34 A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works. - John Gaule Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=256473#256473 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:33:57 AM PST US Subject: Allegro-List: Re: Oil Drain Valve From: "Bear Creek Aviation" With the Mfg essentially out of business, and it appears this aircraft is under a SLSA airworthiness certificate, where are you guys getting the Letter of Authorization to do this work? Are you reregistering as a ELSA?

So the design is not widowed and there is no reason to register as an ELSA.

I came away with a goo d feeling about the Allegro's future. I'd also mentioned to Doug that I'd like to add a panel mount CO2 detecto r and he said I don't need approval for that. He said the documentation w as intentionally written to allow owners flexibility in doing some custom izing / accessories, as long as they're not screwing around with the basi c equipment as supplied by the factory. I haven't yet verified that in th e documentation... but that's the word from the person who would have to provide the approval. A quick-drain valve would be way down on my list of things to worry about documentation for (unless the thing leaks and causes an accident). It's not like the Feds will do a ramp check, remove the cowling and check log books for something like a quick drain.
